Barrel Leg! Low Rise! Dark Wash! These Are the Only Denim Styles Fashion People Are Wearing This Winter
The new year is here, and I have a lot of goals. Some will be challenging (ahem, time management), but there's one I can't wait to start on—and of course, it has to do with fashion!
This year, I want to upgrade my denim drawer. I've taken note of the trends fashion people are wearing for winter, and I'm ready to hit "add to cart" on a few specific styles from Levi's®. From barrel-leg to low-rise to dark-wash styles, I'll be mixing and matching these ultra-versatile jeans with the other pieces in my wardrobe. How cute would the low-rise jeans look with a baby tee and chunky sneakers? And I have no choice but to re-create a certain celeb's birthday outfit with the 501 '90s jeans, a sparkly sequin tank, and heeled sandals.
If you're also feeling inspired to refresh your denim collection, keep scrolling to shop the top fashion person–approved styles you'll want to wear this winter. Oh, and all of my faves are 50% off.
Barrel-Leg Jeans
I think barrel-leg jeans are the perfect go-to pant. The versatility is unmatched: A light wash can be super casual and a dark wash can replace a pair of trousers.
501 '90s Jeans
This celeb-loved style deserves a section of its own. It will continue to dominate the fashion space, so you'll probably want to get your hands on a pair (or two, or three—I won't judge) while they're still on sale.
Low-Rise
Spoiler: Low-rise Y2K denim isn't going anywhere in 2026. You might as well embrace this relaxed silhouette.
Dark Wash
I hear you: You want to wear jeans, but you want them to look elevated. Dark wash is the easy solution.
